Tag Archives: hand pain

We have been providing treatment for the neck, shoulders and hands in downtown San Francisco for over 23 years now.

Most of the patients we treat in the SF Financial District spend the majority of their day sitting in front of a computer doing repetitive motions. This activity can put a lot of stress on the bones of the spine in the neck and well as the muscles, ligaments and tendons of the shoulders, arms and hands.

The nerves that control the arms and hands exit from in between the bones of the spine in the neck. These nerves can become compromised with abnormal wear and tear leading to numbness and tingling in the hands. The problem can be in the neck, shoulders, elbows, or wrists. All must be checked.

In most cases there is joint dysfunction and muscle imbalances, and even nerve pressure in multiple locations. The good news is that these sorts of problems tend to respond favorably to chiropractic and favorable outcomes are the norm.

The standard treatment for hand pain and numbness at our clinic is chiropractic adjustments to the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrists and fingers, massage or ART, low tech exercises in office and at home, deep tissue laser if needed, and ice or heat. Most cases respond in short order. Chronic long standing cases can take longer to treat.

We also have a team of medical doctors and physical therapists that specialize in sports medicine at our primary clinic, Chiro-Medical Group, Inc. which is a few blocks away from our Embarcadero Center walk-in clinic.

I am a Chiropractor in the San Francisco Financial District specializing in chronic neck, arm and hand pain. I also treat herniated discs using spinal decompression, whiplash, sports injuries, headaches, and Fibromyalgia. My clinic is certified in the use of Deep Tissue Laser Therapy with the LiteCure LCT-1000 for conditions such as shoulder pain, TMJ and Plantar Fasciitis. I have been in practice for over 20 years.

Every week, many people come to our clinic with hand pain that has no apparent cause. Some say they woke up with it…others say it just came on while they were performing normal work or household duties. For some, the hand pain comes and goes and may be getting progressively worse.

The obvious place to look is the hands themselves. Are they being overworked? This day and age most of us spend a good amount of time sitting at a desk in front of a computer doing repetitive motions with the arms and hands. This alone without adequate breaks or proper ergonomics and posture can lead to hand pain, numbness, tingling, burning and weakness.

There is a not so obvious place to look as well that could well be the primary contributor to your arm or hand pain. The neck or cervical spine. This is where all the nerves that innervate or control the arm and hands (upper extremities) originate and they are very vulnerable to pressure or interference as they exit the spine.

Some of the conditions in the neck that can pinch the nerves and cause hand pain and related disorders are as follows:

Herniated or bulging discs in the neck

Facet Syndrome

Degenerative Disc Disease

Vertebral Subluxation

Bone spurs

Spinal Stenosis

Here are some of the potential symptoms from these conditions:

Neck and shoulder pain

Arm pain

Elbow Pain

Hand Pain

Numbness and Tingling

Weakness of Grip

Night Pain

These are also the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). In fact, many patients are misdiagnosed with CTS when the problem is actually in the neck. It’s easy to do since the symptoms are the same. This is why it’s so important to See a doctor who spends the majority of their day managing cases of hand pain and related disorders and knows how to treat them naturally. There are many chiropractors that specialize in this like we do.

The last thing you ant is unnecessary drugs or surgeries.

Patients come to our San Francisco Chiropractic and medical center because they know we are hand pain and carpal tunnel experts. We have medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, trainers, massage therapists, and nurses, that routinely treat hand pain, naturally.

We have two clinics in downtown San Francisco to serve you.

So…if you are suffering with hand pain, numbness, tingling, burning, aching, neck or shoulder pain or night pain, you may want to give us a call.

I also treat herniated discs using spinal decompression, whiplash, sports injuries, headaches, and Fibromyalgia.

We have been providing treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome and related disorders in San Francisco for over 23 years.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is when a nerve in the wrist (the median nerve) becomes compressed, usually due to repetitive motions over time, acute trauma (rare), or as part of other upper extremity musculoskeletal disease complexes.

Either the diameter of the carpal tunnel narrows or the contents of the carpal tunnel expand putting pressure on the median nerve (which originates in the neck). The carpal tunnel is a small opening, about the size of the tip of your pinkey, that is created by the 8 carpal bones and the transverse ligament that holds them together. There is no extra space in the carpal tunnel.

Inside the carpal tunnel is the median nerve and some some blood vessels. The median nerve has protective sheaths around it that also secrete fluids which allow for the nerve to glide within the tunnel.

With overuse syndromes such as repetitive stress injuries (RSI) the fluid dries up and the nerve sheath and median nerve swell causing pain and dysfunction. RSI can also cause the carpal bones to misalign which can irritate the median nerve as well. Trauma to the hand can also cause CTS. The signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are as follows:

Hand Pain

Numbness and Tingling

Weak Grip

Night Pain

Burning

Neck, shoulder, elbow pain

So, true carpal tunnel syndrome is when there is compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel…either from the tunnel narrowing or the contents expanding. True CTS is rare. The majority of the time CTS symptoms are NOT the result of true CTS…they are the result of problems (nerve pressure) in the neck.

The median nerve originates in the neck. It is actually created by branches of nerve roots that exit the lower part of the neck (C5-8). Each of these nerves passes through bones. If there is any kind of nerve pressure on these nerve roots it can cause the same exact symptoms in the hand that you would get if you had true CTS.

This is why it’s so important to visit a doctor that routinely treats patients with carpal tunnel SYMPTOMS. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the most misdiagnosed conditions there is. It is not uncommon for an emergency room doctor or primary physician or nurse to make a CTS diagnosis for hand pain. The typical course of treatment is a wrist splint and Motrin. Meanwhile, the true cause in the neck is left untreated.

Some of the conditions in the neck that can cause carpal tunnel SYMPTOMS in the upper extremity are as follows:

Bulging or Herniated Cervical Disc

Vertebral Subluxation

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Facet Syndrome

Degenerative Disc Disease

Spinal Stenosis

There are other upper extremity disorders that can mimic CTS. The point here is you need to know what they are and how to check for them. And even more importantly…how to treat them before they get worse.

A chiropractor that specializes in carpal tunnel syndrome and related disorders is your best bet. We may take x-rays or order a nerve conduction test or MRI. The treatments we use to treat these types of problems are spinal and extremity adjustments (gentle), massage, laser, exercise, ice/heat, physical therapy, ART, Graston, traction.

All cases present differently and are treated as such. Often times a patient that presents with carpal tunnel SYMPTOMS can be fixed in a fe days. Other times, with more chronic cases it takes months. And everything in between.

Whatever you do make sure you see an expert. My advice is to see a chiropractor. Call around. Search the internet and find out if the doctor is experienced in carpal tunnel treatment and call and speak to them.

And even if you do have true carpal tunnel syndrome, a trained chiropractor is your best treatment choice. You can save yourself a lot of time and grief by doing some homework.

If you live or work in San Francisco you can see us. We also have medical doctors and physical therapists in the event you need them.

We have been providing cervical spinal decompression treatment in San Francisco for over 10 years now. The machine we use is the DRX9000c.

The DRX9000c cervical decompression system treats bulging and herniated discs in the neck which are a primary cause of arm and hand pain.

The nerves that exit from the neck travel down the arm and into the hand. When these nerves become pinched from herniated or bulging cervical discs it can cause neck pain, shoulder pain, arm and hand pain, weakness of grip, numbness, tingling, even night pain.

Because these symptoms mimic those of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), herniated discs in the neck are often misdiagnosed as CTS. In fact, sometimes carpal tunnel surgery is even performed (even though the cause is in the neck)…if you can believe that.

Once it is determined that the underlying cause of a patients arm and hand pain is a herniated or bulging disc (by MRI) we will first attempt to help with conservative treatments such as chiropractic, massage, and physical therapy. In the event these treatments fail to deliver results we may recommend cervical decompression with the DRX9000c.

The DRX9000c is designed and built to treat herniated discs in the neck without surgery. Sometimes a combination of decompression, chiropractic and exercise works best. If we need the help of a medical doctor we have them as part of our team also.

To find out if you are a candidate for arm and hand pain treatment with cervical decompression in San Francisco please call 415-392-2225. We are in network for most insurance carriers. We also have validated parking at the Embarcadero Center where we are located.

One of the more common presentations of symptoms that we see at our chiropractic clinic in downtown San Francisco is computer related hand pain, numbness, tingling, burning, aching and weakness (some or all of these together). Sometimes there is associated neck shoulder, or arm pain.

So the question becomes…what is the underlying cause of the symptoms?

Sure, these are the classic symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but the likelihood there is true CTS is rare. What’s more likely is that the cause of the CTS symptoms is a pinched nerve in the neck. After-all…the nerves that exit from in between the bones in the neck, travel into the upper extremities and innervate and control the arms and hands.

When there is pressure on these nerves in the neck it can cause the same signs and symptoms of true carpal tunnel syndrome.

Pinched nerves in the neck are mostly the result of bulging or herniated cervical discs, subluxated vertebrae, or degenerative disc disease…all of which respond favorably to chiropractic adjustments. In the event we need a little help, we have deep tissue laser or nonsurgical spinal decompression.

We do chiropractic adjustments to the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers on both sides. We do massage and exercise as well. We are also concerned with proper ergonomics, sleeping positions and nutrition. It is this comprehensive approach that has allowed us to successfully treat thousands of patients with CTS symptoms over the years.

So…if you are experiencing the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and would like to find out if you are a candidate for care…please call 415-392-2225 and make an appointment with one of our San Francisco Carpal Tunnel Experts. Chances are, you will be glad you did

We have been providing natural solutions for hand pain in San Francisco since 1992.

The are many hand pain causes. Sure, if you use your hands too much it will make them sore. For instance, if out of the blue you assemble a 200 piece doll house for your daughter that requires lots of hand tools you will probably get sore hands. Or, if you use a new piece of exercise equipment, or start a new hobby or sport like tennis or golf you increase your chances of hand pain. This kind of pain is just the body telling you you did too much.

The kind of hand or wrist pain I am describing usually goes away quick and there are no repercussions. If you want to speed up your recovery you can use ice or some simple stretches…or just rest. Unless, you really overdo it and/or already had some hand problems bubbling under the surface.

For example…if by day, you are sitting in front of a computer doing repetitive movements with the arm and hands, you may be developing a repetitive stress injury and did not even know it. Then, you take up golf and your arms and hands begin to get really sore and don’t seem to recover. This is the type of scenario we see frequently at our Back, Neck, and Wrist pain Center in San Francisco.

Or, hand pain, wrist pain, forearm pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness of grip, just seems to develop out of the blue for no apparent reason. This is also common and can be very frustrating to patients as we use our hands for everything and for the most part take the use of them for granted.

The other thing is, the true source of your hand pain may not even be the hands or wrists (carpal tunnel syndrome)…it may be the neck. That’s right…the nerves that innervate and control the shoulder, arm, and hands originate in the neck. Pressure on these nerves in the neck from misaligned vertebrae (vertebral subluxations), bulging or herniated cervical discs, face syndrome’s, or degenerative disc disease can also cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hands.

I know this sounds complicated but it really isn’t. Not for a chiropractor that specializes in hand pain and related disorders. Not sure if I would go to the emergency room for this, or even to my family doctor…because they just don’t have the experience to know what to do.

Wrist splints and Motrin is the usual treatment. Meanwhile, there is no examination of the neck to check for nerve pressure or interference. In fact, there are even some hand surgeons that don’t check the neck. I can’t tell you how many carpal tunnel surgeries I have seen in my 21 year career that were not necessary.

Anyway, if you have hand pain and it comes on gradually out of the blue, or you overdo it and the hand pain persists, you should probably see a chiropractor…not any chiropractor, but one that specializes in hand pain.

If you live or work near downtown San Francisco you can see us. If you don’t then email ebendavis@yahoo.com and ask me if I have a doctor I have trained to treat CTS in your area.

Our "Patient of the Week" review is from Doug Edwards. Douglas presented to our clinic about 6 years ago with upper back pain, low back pain, thumb and hand pain. His condition had developed gradually over the years from long hours of sitting and computer use. His symptoms were interfering with his golf game and had flared up when he was on vacation sailing, so he decided it was time to try something different, because the care he was receiving was not helping.

When we checked Douglas we found subluxations in the neck, upper back and low back. Vertebral subluxations are the term chiropractors use to describe a misalignment of a vertebrae that is causing nerve interference, loss of motion, muscle spasm, pain and dysfunction. We also found misalignment's in the hand and thumb.

We put Douglas on a chiropractic treatment program to address all these issues. The goal was to take him as close as possible to being pain free with normal function. Well, we were able to make big changes and Douglas has been coming in for maintenance care ever since. Sure, sometimes he has flair-ups and he even has new issues that pop-up from time to time, but his regular chiropractic regimen of 2 times per month along with his home exercises and healthy lifestyle keep him in excellent health most of the time.

Douglas is not alone. Most of the patients we treat at Executive Express Chiropractic are coming for ongoing maintenance care. Do they need to come forever? Well…if they want to receive the benefits of chiropractic care they have to see a chiropractor. If they want those benefits forever then YES!

Just like if you want the benefits of exercise or eating right you have to do it ongoing..it's a lifestyle choice…just like chiropractic!

At one point during the “Dot-Com” go go years we were know as The Carpal Tunnel Injury Center. During this time we treated over 10,000 cases with “Carpal Tunnel SYMPTOMS”. The most common signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are as follows:

Arm, Wrist or Hand Pain

Numbness or Tingling in the Arm and Hands

Weakness of Grip

Night Pain

Swelling of the Hands and Fingers

Pain that radiates from the Hands into the Forearm

Elbow Pain

Loss of Sensation in the Fingertips

These are the classic signs and symptoms of CTS. True carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the Median Nerve in the wrist. The Median Nerve which actually originates in the neck passes through the 8 carpal bones which form a tunnel in your wrist called the “carpal tunnel”. There are also some tendons and blood vessels in the tunnel.

The tendons in the carpal tunnel can get over-worked and become inflamed which puts pressure on the Median Nerve. The carpal bones themselves can lose their proper alignment from trauma or repetitive trauma and put pressure on the Median causing CTS.

Women have a smaller carpal tunnel and are more prone to CTS. Carpal Tunnel is common in pregnant women because they take on water to build and protect the baby and this can cause swelling of the tendons in the tunnel and CTS. Smokers have a much higher incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome. High fat and high salt diets can cause water retention and CTS symptoms. Certain medications can cause CTS symptoms as well. Patients with Diabetes and other diseases (obesity) are more prone to CTS.

Then, there are the occupational risks of jobs that require repetitive motions such as office workers on a computer, hair cutters, meat cutters, assembly line workers. We work primarily with SF Financial District office workers.

Hobby’s such as bowling, tennis, racquetball, knitting, golf, or anything that requires lots of hand motion will also predispose you to carpal tunnel syndrome.

But here’s the deal. In spite of everything I outlined above…only a small percentage of patients that present with carpal tunnel SYMPTOMS actually have carpal tunnel SYNDROME.

Huh!…What do you mean?

Well, here’s why…Pressure on the nerves in the neck that form the Median Nerve (see image above) causes the same symptoms as pressure on the Median Nerve in the carpal tunnel.

That’s right. Just like pressure on a garden hose near the faucet will cause the same symptoms as pressure on the hose near the sprinkler (a decrease in water flow).

Pressure on the median nerve at the source causes the same symtoms as presure on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel.

And you are way more likely to have pressure on the nerves in the neck…what chiropractors call a “Subluxation” or Pinched Nerve, than you are to have true CTS.

The reason for this is simple. As the nerves exit from the bones in the neck they are vulnerable to Subluxations. All the spills and falls we took as a child. Sitting at a desk at school for 12-18 years, sports injuries, car accidents, sitting at a desk all day at work…LIFE!

Yes, just being alive and having an active lifestyle predisposes us to Subluxations in the neck and carpal tunnel symptoms.

If your doctor does not know to look at the neck you may never get the right treatment. And, just because your doctor is able to identify the neck as the source of the problem does not necessarily mean they know how to treat it. This is why we get so many referrals from medical doctors and therapists…our chiropractors know how to treat subluxations and pinched nerves in the neck…and carpal tunnel syndrome.

We use chiropractic adjustments to the neck, arms, and hands, deep tissue laser, Graston and Active Release Techniques, Kinesiotape, Exercises and more. We have perfected our methods over the years and have taught it to other chiropractors as well.

So, if you think you may have carpal tunnel syndrome and would like to find out if we can help…please call 415-392-2225 to schedule an appointment with one of our San Francisco Carpal Tunnel Doctors.

We have been providing treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in San Francisco for over 20 years.

Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) refers to the median nerve being pinched in a tunnel at
the wrist. As the name implies, “carpal” refers to the 8 small bones in the
wrist that make up the “U” shaped part of the tunnel and “syndrome” means
symptoms that are specific and unique to this condition. As we learned last
month, CTS can be affected by nerve pinches more proximal to the wrist, such as
at the forearm, elbow, mid-upper arm, shoulder or neck. To make matters more
complex, there are two other nerves in the arm that can also be pinched in
different tunnels, and the symptoms of numbing and tingling in the arm and hand
occur with those conditions as well. This is why a careful clinical history,
examination, and sometimes special tests like an EMG/NCV (electromyogram/nerve
conduction velocity) offer the information that allows for an accurate
diagnosis of one or more of these “tunnel syndromes” in the “CTS” patient.
Let’s look at these different tunnels and their associated symptoms, as this
will help you understand the ways we can differentiate between these various
syndromes or conditions.

Let’s start at the neck. There are seven cervical
vertebrae and eight cervical spinal nerves that exit the spine through a small
hole called the IVF (intervertebral foramen). Each nerve, like a wire to a
light, goes specifically to a known location which includes: the head (nerves
C1, 2, 3), the neck and shoulders (C4, 5), the thumb side of the arm (C6), the
middle hand and finger (C7) and the pinky side of the lower arm and hand (C8).
If a nerve gets pinched at the spinal level (such as a herniated disk in the
neck), usually there is numbness, tingling, and/or pain and sometimes, usually
a little later, weakness in the affected part/s of the arm and hand (or
numbness in the scalp if it’s a C1-3 nerve pinch). So, we as chiropractors can
test the patient’s sensation using light touch, pin prick, vibration, and/or
2-points brought progressively closer together until 1-point is perceived and
then comparing it to the other arm/hand. Reflexes and muscle strength are also
tested to see if the motor part of the nerve is involved in the pinch. The exam
includes compression tests of the neck to see if the arm “lights up” with
symptoms during the test.

Next is the shoulder. Here, the nerves and blood vessels travel through
an opening between the collar bone, 1st rib and the chest muscles (Pectorals).
As you might think, the nerves and blood vessels can be stretched and pinched
as they travel through this opening and can cause “thoracic outlet syndrome.”
Symptoms occur when we raise the arm overhead. Hence, our tests include
checking the pulse at the wrist to see if it reduces or lessens in intensity as
we raise the arm over the head. At the shoulder, the ulnar nerve is the most
commonly pinched nerve, which will make the pinky side of the arm and hand
numb, tingly, and/or painful. A less common place to pinch the nerves is along
humerus bone (upper arm) by a bony process and ligament that is usually not
there or resulting from a fracture. Here, an x-ray will show the problem.

The elbow is the MOST common place to trap the ulnar nerve in
the “cubital tunnel” located at the inner elbow near the “funny bone” which we
have all bumped more than once. Cubital tunnel syndrome affects the pinky side
of the hand from the elbow down. The median/carpal tunnel nerve can get trapped
here by the pronator teres muscle, thus “pronator tunnel syndrome.” This
COMMONLY accompanies CTS and MUST be treated to obtain good results with CTS
patients. The radial nerve can be trapped at the radial tunnel located on the
outside of the elbow and creates thumb side and back of the hand
numbness/tingling.

Hence, you see the importance of
evaluating and treating ALL the tunnels when CTS is present so a thorough job
is done (which is what Chiropractors do). Try the LEAST invasive approach first
– non-surgical treatment – as it’s usually all that is needed!

We realize you have a choice in who
you consider for your health care provision and we sincerely appreciate your
trust in choosing our service for those needs.
If you, a friend or family member require care for CTS, we would be
honored to render our services.

Our San Francisco Chiropractor "Patient of the Week" is Carol Martin. Carol came to our clinic searching for answers to her ongoing wrist pain. Months ago she had broken her wrist and it never healed properly.

Pain and swelling persisted even after the cast had been removed. Using a combination of chiropractic adjustments to the neck, arm, and wrist, icing, massage and laser therapy, we have significantly decreased her swelling and pain.

We are now helping her rehabilitate her wrist injury as she continues to improve and heal. As this new year has dawned upon us, we're excited for the progress that Carol has made and we are all looking forward to supporting her along the way.

We have been providing treatment for hand pain in San Francisco since 1992. After-all, the nerves the innervate and control the hand originate in the neck. Pressure on these nerves will cause pain and malfunction in the shoulders, arms and hands.

Many chiropractors such as ourselves specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of neck, arm, and hand pain. We can help conditions such as r tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprain and strains, repetitive stress injuries, and fractures that have not healed properly.

To schedule an appointment with one of our San Francisco Hand Pain Doctors call 415-392-2225. Mention this hand pain review for a complimentary consultation.
